Good morning! 57˚ South wind hitting 83˚ sunny.

Got it David. Key remember question: Where is it buried? WHere, 6 Feet SOuth.

Wingspread, just a few more days and there will be sugarless dewberry cobbler on the table. No noxious weeds to deal with here.

I finished trimming all branches and trees and vines encroaching on out buildings and in return had sore arms last night. Looking good around here but not near as good as Drew's place.

Morning and best wishes to all;
Had an interesting long weekend, took a bus trip to Washington D.C. it was an interesting experience. First time I had been there since the 60's
other then to just drive thru or around. The trip heading south was nice watching the gradual greening up and the appearances of blossoms and blooms
was enjoyable. Then the sight seeing in DC was interesting and we had good weather for Friday and Saturday. But the traffic and number of people was
just simply unreal, no way I could live in that area. Then Sunday morning was a trip to Arlington the weather sure changed then rain about 11 windy and cooler,
then got headed north about 3 PM for the long trip home. Left all the greenery and flowers behind and headed for sleet and ice at home got to the parking lot around
2 AM and a quarter of an inch of ice to scrape before heading the pickup home.
Glad I didn't have to drive especially the last half of the trip down the traffic was ridiculous and the around the DC and Dulles area, what a nightmare of roads traffic
and people. We didn't get to see a lot that I would like to have, may have to repeat the trip again but I'm not sure how we will do the transportation, I was not impressed with the tour bus seating, not very comfortable, of course it has been more then 40 years since I was on a bus but they seemed more comfortable in my memory of course I was a tad bit narrower
back then

Up early this morning, have a couple of presentations at work, first at 5am, than again at 8am. I remember now why I don't do this series very often. Years ago, I had to be up at 4am often and could sleep deep right until then. Not so much anymore, probably laid awake from 2-4..

Bought some 1 1/2" wooden wheels and axles last week, grand daughter and I cut some 2x2s and drilled some holes, sanded a bit, installed wheels and now have a bunch of wooden cars. We'll sand some more and then paint them when we get a warmer day... send a text to another daughter, asking if the other grand daughter was interested in making some wooden cars. Got a text back wanting to video chat, technology is nice.

Hawkeye, have fun with the wooden cars, are you going to downhill race them?

having awful time getting my tomato seedlings outside. They won't harden, unhappy with two hours of sun, my neighbor killed the three I gave him with five hours of sun. So I'm leaving them by this full afternoon sun rear glass door and trying to give them some filtered UV.
It's like they are getting microwaved...
This is why folks have small greenhouses...next year.

You could pick up one of them CHEAP 59.00 handhelds on Amazon not the best but they work until you decide what you want to do. Also could give Echolink a try now you have a call it is all done on the PC!

I’m sure of it. I’m over there several times a year.

 

[CWB Wyo]

The low this morning was 28*, yesterday was mostly sunny but with a 30+ wind all day. It blew in about 2 inches of snow overnight. It's supposed to clear up later in the day, with a high in the low 40's but still windy.

I was going to do some work on the driveway and the loading ramp to day. It will be the end of the week before I can think about doing it again.
Not much else going on for today.

Hope everyone has a nice January 107th like toppop said.

CWB.

Good morning to all! 45 this morning, still going up to near 70 despite the wind going to be howling. They say gusts 55-70 again. Right now about 25-20 sustained, occasional gust at 40. A few dust gusts. The sunrise had a real orange haze to it because of a couple fires on the western side of the state. Awful fire going in Oklahoma.

RIP, be careful tearing down that ceiling. You never know what might come out at you, or what might fall down on you. Just be careful!:shocked:

RNG, so sorry to hear about the motor. Maybe won't be that bad once you tear into it. Hopefully not too much work.:thumbdown:

David, CONGRATS! Sounds real official..WH6SFO..:cool2::drink:

Drew, sounds like those tomato plants are just spoiled, like our teenagers today....just want to stay inside and play:laughing:

Don, did you get a change to check on the ceiling boards? No rush, whenever.

Prayers out for those needing. Everyone have a great day!

No racing planned for the cars, but with cousins, anything is possible. If they start doing that, will look into getting the kits to make the racers..

We don't do much gardening (a few things in raised bed), but never had issues with tomatoes... I remember Dad bragging on how big his plants were so wife picked up a couple from nursery in town and planted them. When he saw them, they were bigger than his.. told him later in summer they were store bought.

30°F(-18°C) and clear skies this morning, going up to 60°(16°C) today. Sure would be nice if January the 107th was the last morning this year I had to scrape frost from the windshield (or, windscreen, since we're being international).

Congrats on the official license, David.

Wife and I decided we won't be putting in a garden this year. Just not enough time with other things going on. She did pick up some tomato and banana pepper plants to put in a couple of pots, so we'll have a mini container garden.

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 41F @ 8:00AM. Sunny. High 59F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.



Picked up another little bit of rain yesterday in the morning, and then some very fine hail in the afternoon. It ended with a beautiful sunset, so something for everyone.

Nice work on the ham license, David. Nice thing to have if you ever need it.

Good luck with the car sale, Drew. No matter how bad, it'll never be as bad as trying to sell something on eBay...

Hope you fellas up in the Northeast finally get a hint of spring real soon!

When I dropped by the mechanic's last week he had a stainless steel header/muffler installed, and it was interfering with the rear engine mount. He wasn't happy with the first muffler/header he purchased either, and this one was supposed to be better. He bought three of the first ones, which were supposed to be all stainless steel, but showed up in plain carbon steel. So instead of returning them, he had one ceramic coated, and then the parts wouldn't fit together. He couldn't clean the ceramic off to get them to fit, either. He was going to notch out the engine mount, then weld gussets on, so I took on the job to save time. Took care of that yesterday, and also finished up the dash panel for the 4WD controls. Was gonna drop them off yesterday night, but he says they're not holding him up, though he is working on other things on my van...:confused2:

Rounded out the day with some housework, then another fire in the woodstove. Feels more like winter around here than spring. Supposed to warm up into the 70s for the weekend, though.

 

[Ed of all trades]

Good morning all, 37 now going to 50. Got up early and fell asleep in my chair after about an hour. Finely got around to TBN. Wife's brother Would be almost 60 and he was born april 27 and his dad had to plow snow to get to the to the Dr when he was born. That was just south of Harrisonburg Va. Hope you all have a great day. Ed

WH6FSO, congrats.

Good thing it isnt WH6FDE, or don would have you remember it as Where did you put the body? WHere, 6 Feet DEep.

 

[sodamo]

66°F and .67 inches rain and still raining.

Probably make a run for gas and diesel today.
Take wife to GP for follow up from the ER visit this afternoon.

Otherwise, nothing planned.

Prayers for all

Be safe have a great day

Good Afternoon everyone.

David- Congratulations on the license. How long before your # is FCC posted?

At sunrise it was lightly snowing and it has been lightly snowing intermittently all day long with the sun periodically appearing all PM. I have been active all day and little to show for all the activity except foot and paw prints in the snow, the wood stove is going, and and dinner is basically prepped, ready to prep, and/or ready to go. There's ~3" of snow/ice over partially thawed ground surface except where the "wet" areas are around here. I see this episodic rain/snow shower weather pattern continuing around here until the weekend.

Wifey has been increasing difficulty moving due to pain for quite some time, finally went to her rheumatologist, and now has a new diagnosis = "Polymyalgia Rheumatica." She is back on Plaquenil and now is on Prednisone for the first time. She has not been moving too much or often for quite some time. Hopefully this will get her feeling and moving better. She's a "hard sell" regarding CBD oil.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for all.

 

[hawkeye08]

Hope your wife gets to filling better, Prednisone can hit people hard, I don't recommend it long term.

Interesting read on the oils, Tired of Big Pharma? Rick Simpson Oil Saves You (Naturally), especially about whether you get high or not.

 

[txdon]

Don, did you get a change to check on the ceiling boards? No rush, whenever.

They are at my Mom's place in a barn. The winds blew the barn down last week. I'll check to see if I can even get to the wood in a few days. I haven't forgotten. I took them down from the ceiling and wall in an old house that salvaged them from the old train depot in Lincoln TX, so the wood is over 100 years old.

 

[jbrumberg]

hawkeye- Thanks. I have read many + reviews of RSO. It is a mix of CBD and THC. I ordered a pure CBD tincture from the internet. I have more than enough MM with decent levels of THC. I would probably have to go to the MM dispensary to get RSO or an equivalent.

What we really should do is eliminate all red meat and processed foods and watch the fat contents of dairy products, etc as a start. Don's plant based diet would work as I understand it.
